So today I just found out some really bad news. So, as some of you know, I am in Les Miserables, and our first show is tomorrow night. So we had our dress rehearsal, and before the director started, he told us some news.
There is a kid who is sort of my friend named Henry who played Marius in our cast, and last week during one of the rehearsals the girl playing Eponine fell on him wrong and injured him since he had recently had an incident with his leg. So unfortunately for him, he does not get to be in the show.
We found out that he would not be in it on Tuesday, and some of us felt really bad.
But then, today before we started, there was more to the story. When they were doing surgery on him, the doctors found that he actually has early stages of cancer. frown However, there is supposedly a high chance of recovery since they found out about it early on, but everyone was concerned and there was even one girl crying about it. I really hope he gets better. I heard that he is going to get a mohawk and dye his hair pink before he gets chemo and loses all his hair.
So pray for him to get better.

Wow I didn't know that much, only the injury. I'm sorry to hear that :(
My father has throat cancer and has to have chemo and radiation, tell Henry that he MAY NOT lose his hair. Depending on his dosing, which shouldn't be a lot since you said early stages, he might not lose his hair. My father had weekly chemotherapy for Stage 1 throat cancer until his platelet count got too low and he never lost his hair.
So what I'm saying if Henry that he shouldn't make rash decisions like that before talking with his doctor about what to expect depending on dose and the type of medication.
